How You Could Be Charged Even with a Valid Prescription
Prescription drugs are legal but only when you are the prescribed person. It is possible to be arrested in Arlington VA or elsewhere for a prescription drug if you are not able to produce the prescription. In general, if you can do so later on, and it is valid and verifiable, you will likely not be prosecuted. There are circumstances in which the prosecutor might still elect to charge you with an offense. These could include:
- You did not have the prescription on you (rare charge).
- You were driving under the influence.
- Evidence suggested you intended to sell your prescription.
- You were caught sharing your prescription.
- The prescription was found in another form (i.e. crushed for snorting).
Whether you had a prescription or not, it may be in your best interest to speak with a prescription drug offense lawyer for further advice.
